jubo2Is there a magnifying glass app for Kubuntu14 ?07:53
buriedalivejubo2 hi07:56
buriedaliveI think should be07:57
valoriejubo2: do you mean for the desktop?07:57
jubo2valorie: yes07:57
valorieif so, yes there is a magnifier widget07:57
jubo2valorie: where do I install or activate it07:57
valorieclick on the little cashew at the end of the taskbar07:58
valorie"Add widgets"07:58
valoriesearch for magnify07:58
jubo2it seems to be called Magnifique07:58
buriedaliveexcellent, widget07:59
valoriethat's what I see as well07:59
valoriethere may be more07:59
buriedalivevalorie howto I clear app data cache?08:01
buriedalivesee the picture08:01
buriedalivehttp://elmisery.ru:8083/snapshot005_kinfocenter.png08:02
valorieI'm not sure what you mean, buriedalive08:02
valorieif you cleared the app data caches, your applications couldn't work08:02
buriedalivedisk cache I cleared with a little help drop caches in command line08:03
buriedalivebut app data cache over 2-3 days increases08:04
valorieif there is a troublesome application, it is possible to clear caches for those08:04
valoriefor that one, I mean08:04
buriedalivewhat I do fix thit? idea? 2-3 days and app cache too very big and I restart the computer08:06
valorieI don't know enough to help you with that08:07
valorieif nobody else speaks up, I recommend asking on either KDE forum or Kubuntu forum08:08
buriedalivetrouble08:09
tsimpson"Application Data" is the memory used by running applications, unless there are memory leaks in long running applications it should grow and shrunk when you open/close programs08:13
OssidoHello. I have a problem with system fonts08:15
buriedalivemy comp just starts to slow down08:15
buriedalivetsimpson08:15
OssidoI had incorrectly thought that the problem was with Chromium, but actually it's with more or less all non-KDE applications08:16
Ossidothey use an ugly monospaced font08:16
Ossidofor example in the chromium UI, where I first noticed it08:16
buriedaliveOssido http://elmisery.ru/blog/ru/nicekde08:16
OssidoI'm sorry but I don't speak Russian08:17
buriedaliveopen terminal and typing08:17
OssidoI need to add another repository?08:19
valorieOssido: here in english: http://askubuntu.com/questions/232395/handling-gtk-windows-in-kde408:20
Ossidothanks. At least I can try to understand what I'm doing08:21
Ossidonow, I have already installed all those things08:22
Ossidomy problem is that, in the system settings, I have set the font to be Ubuntu 10, but what I see is not Ubuntu 1008:23
Ossidoit's probably Courier, or FreeMono, or something like that08:23
valoriehmmm08:24
buriedalivetry logoff and login?08:24
Ossidommh, no, gtk-theme-switch was missing08:24
OssidoI'll try this08:24
OssidoI try rebooting08:26
OssidoI have rebooted, but it had no effect08:33
jubo2The "magnifique" widget isn't a magnifier glass.. it's just a window that shows what is on the desktop in it's area08:34
valoriehmmm08:34
valorieI know that we have one though08:34
jubo2If someone knows of magnifier glass app/widget it'd be appreciated08:34
valorieaha, Kmag08:35
Ossidoto summarise. In System Settings > Application appearance > GTK the themes are both set to oxygen-gtk, and the font to FreeSans 10, but the font that I see in the application is not that one, it's an ugly monospaced one08:35
jubo2valorie: 'k dänks08:35
hateballjubo2: there's a zoom effect, if that would be OK for your use-case08:36
hateballWell, there are several zoom effects08:37
jubo2hateball: where do I activate the zooming effects ?08:39
=== brian is now known as Guest4850
hateballjubo2: alt+f2 -> desktop effects -> all effects08:44
hateballor some such.08:44
Ossidovalorie: do you know where the gtk configuration files are? This seems to be another instance of the kde System settings not doing what they should08:49
valoriemaybe look in ~/.config08:53
valoriethere are also config files in ~/.kde08:53
valorieand ~/.local08:53
Ossidommh, the ones in ~/.config and  ~/.kde have the right font in them09:02
=== max is now known as Guest66179
Ossidoalso, the kde GTK System Settings don't remember my settings. I had set the font to Droid Sans, and after a reboot it's back to Ubuntu09:23
Ossidommh, valorie, the problem does not seem to be with GTK, because Firefox does obey those settings. Programs that display the weird font are, for example: Chromium, Audacity, Cheese09:35
Ossidoalso Comix, GIMP09:38

Ossido!info kde-config-gtk10:23
ubottuPackage kde-config-gtk does not exist in trusty10:23
buriedaliveOssido do via instructions, there have pictures, don't suffer10:32
Ossidodo via instuctions what?10:32
buriedalivefind a trusty ppa10:32
OssidoI'm stumbling around blindly10:32
Ossidofor what?10:33
buriedalivewait plz10:33
OssidoAs of now: Some programs (Chromium, Audacity, GIMP, Gramps, Cheese, Comix...) all have a wrong monospaced font. But others, like Firefox, do obey the GTK settings. The font written in the config files is the right one, so the problem is not in the kde thingy that sets the settings10:35
hateballOssido: do you get any hints if you launch from terminal?10:36
hateballlike if they cant find any expected engines or paths or such10:36
Ossidolaunch from terminal one of those programs? I'll try10:36
OssidoCheese opens perfectly without printing a single line10:37
OssidoComix only says Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module"10:38
Ossidotwice10:38
Ossidobut it's a message that I've seen often, even before the upgrade that caused this mess10:38
buriedalivegood10:39
buriedalivestay10:39
buriedaliveno ppa for trusty10:39
buriedalivemaybe add repo from precise? help guys10:40
Ossidomaybe I should try and reinstall gtk?10:41
Ossidohow does one do that?10:41
hateballOssido: But it applies window decorations properly, just fonts that are wonky?10:41
Ossidono, for example the chrome menu is a grey rectangle without any decoration at all10:42
buriedaliveinto sources.list10:42
Ossidobut firefox, on the other hand, works perfectly10:42
Ossidoand it responds to the changes I make in the kde System Settings10:42
hateballin the case of chrome/ium that seems to have broken with the upgrade to 36 I think10:42
hateballthey are not using GTK but rather Aurora or some such10:43
Ossidommh, I'm trying with Audacity10:43
buriedaliveold repo is also possible to add? no?10:43
Ossidothe fonts are certainly wrong. It's hard ot say with the menues10:43
buriedalivehateball10:43
Ossidobut yes, I'd say that there are the decorations10:44
hateballburiedalive: I'm not sure what you are asking, could you explain it all on one line? It's hard to follow10:44
Ossidothe corners are lightly rounded, and the dividing lines smooth out correctly, so yes, I'd say that the problem is only with the fonts, not with the gtk style10:45
hateballOssido: Are you using the "use my kde fonts" option, or a specified font? in the gtk config10:45
buriedaliveOssido http://elmisery.ru/blog/sites/default/files/styles/large/public/images/20142603104300.png?itok=BNgo1JDW10:45
buriedalivemaybe?10:45
OssidoI don't see that option anywhere, hateball10:45
buriedalivefoolish problem10:46
Ossidoburiedalive, that menue there is for kde applications, I think. I have set it up correctly10:46
hateballOssido: Oh, hmm. I launch by alt+f2 -> type "gtk"10:46
hateballyou should get a config dialog10:46
hateballOssido: or in a terminal "/usr/bin/kcmshell4 kcmgtk"10:47
Ossidofrom alt+f2 I don't get the config dialog10:47
OssidoCould not find module 'kcmgtk'. See kcmshell4 --list for the full list of modules.10:47
OssidoI have used System Settings > Allplication Appearance > GTK10:48
hateballOssido: it should be pulled in with the package kde-config-gtk10:48
Ossidoto set the style and font10:48
Ossido!info  kde-config-gtk10:48
ubottuPackage kde-config-gtk does not exist in trusty10:48
OssidoI don't have that package, hateball10:49

BluesKaj'Morning folks11:00
buriedaliveevening)11:01
Ossidohateball, buriedalive, I am back11:02
Ossidoand everything is as before11:02
buriedaliveOssido no works for you?11:02
Ossidothe situation is the same, Firefox has the right fonts, Audacity, for example, or Chrome don't11:03
Ossidoalso, I was thinking, you say that chromium doesn't use GTK any more?11:03
hateballOssido: Well I don't get what could be broken for you... that package is in universe and should be installed with kubuntu-desktop11:03
buriedalivehm, chrome aura maybe?11:04
Ossidowhat package?11:04
hateballYes, Aura is the name, not Aurora like I said11:04
hateballOssido: kde-config-gtk*11:04
Ossidoit's not in trusty11:04
Ossido!info  kde-config-gtk*11:04
ubottuPackage kde-config-gtk does not exist in trusty11:04
Ossidoanyway, I have installed it from the ppa11:04
Ossidoso I have it, now11:05
hateballit is, but in universe11:05
Ossidowell, wherever it is, I have installed it already11:05
buriedalivehm, removed support kde-config-gtk* into 14.0411:06
Ossidocould it be that the problem is in the fonts, and not in the gtk? If you say that chromium doesn't use gtk but has the same problem11:07
Ossidobut on the other hand Firefox has the right fonts11:07
Ossidois there a way to reinstall ftk from scratch?11:07

Ossidoburiedalive, hateball, this is an example of the font that I see11:19
Ossidoat the moment I don't understand if the problem is in the GTK, or in the way the fonts are installed11:21

=== steel`afk is now known as clansman

reflectionalistHi, I recently installed Kubuntu.  But I was really confused by KParted.  No matter I start it in user mode or root mode, I could not edit any partition.  Most editing operations were disabled (grayed out).  Why?  I remember I encountered this problem long time ago when I were in KDE.  Is this a bug of KParted?18:01
lordievaderreflectionalist: Can you tell me exactly what you did?18:07
reflectionalistlordievader: I have already described it.  I simply start KParted either from the menu by searching (which surprisingly does not require password) or start it from the System submenu (which requires password).  Either way, I can not edit any partition.18:10
lordievaderreflectionalist: Could you perhaps send a screenshot?18:17
lordievader!paste | reflectionalist18:17
ubottureflectionalist: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imgur.com/ !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic.18:17
geniiWas this after installation from an installed system, or from the livecd?18:20
reflectionalistlordievader: Here is the screenshot: http://imgur.com/fPlG3TH18:30
reflectionalistgenii: In both the installed and live system.18:31
rberg_is sda mounted or in use by lvm or mdadm?18:32
rberg_ohh I guess being ntfs eliminates 2 of those options18:32
geniiProbably automounted or something18:33
BluesKajlooks like my laptop partitions when I first received it ...6 partitions, most of them useless18:36
reflectionalistrberg_: I am currently in the installed Kubuntu.  sda is surely mounted since my root in on it.  But is it normal that even when I select an unallocated part of it, I still could not do any editing, like even creating a new partition from the unallocated area?18:36
lordievaderreflectionalist: Is it just the ntfs partition that you cannot edit or also the ext ones?18:36
reflectionalistrberg_: I am not using lvm.  I do not know what is mdadm.18:36
reflectionalistlordievader: all partitions, including unallocated areas.18:37
reflectionalistThe funny things is that the situation was the same in the live session.  I could not use KParted to do anything.  But I could using GParted.18:38
lordievaderreflectionalist: Hmm, makes me think it is a bug.18:39
reflectionalistlordievader: Do you have KParted installed.  Could you try to see if it is the same for you.  I am in Kubuntu 14.04, partitionmanager version 1.0.3-2ubuntu218:41
lordievaderreflectionalist: As long as they are not in use I can edit them.18:43
reflectionalistlordievader: Hmm, then I am confused.18:44
lordievaderreflectionalist: I also have the same partitionmanger version.18:46
lordievaderreflectionalist: Do you happen to have a Dynamic Disk? (The Microsoft Dynamic Disk thingie)18:47
reflectionalistlordievader: I do not know what is dynamic disk.  I have an SSD.18:47
lordievaderreflectionalist: Wait, no that has to do with ntfs partitions. It shouldn't be related.18:49
